Chapter 6

"Please?"

"Well...I don't see why not."

"I SEE EVERY REASON WHY NOT!" Emiko shouted at Kosuke and Satoshi, who was desperately trying to be like Daisuke at the moment. "Let's see, A: He's trying to capture you. B: He has that monster inside of him. C: He's trying to capture Dark-"

"Mom, you already said that..." Satoshi said calmly, scratching his arm. "And it's just to help us shop. He's alone and has nothing to do. Plus he's my best friend."

"He's not your best friend! He's your enemy!" Emiko said.

"Sometimes, they can be the same thing." Kosuke tried to calm his wife down. He gave a kind glace to Satoshi.

Why could that man read Satoshi like a book but to read Daisuke, he had to pick the lock off?

He's very interested in you, Satoshi.

Oh great, so I'm a lab rat to him?

No... Dark paused. Actually, yeah. Kind of...

Satoshi sighed. "Come on, mom. Please."

Emiko sighed. "Fine...but if he does anything-"

"He won't, trust me." Satoshi stood up and walked to the phone. He dialed his home phone number and waited Daisuke to answer.

"Hiw-" There was a sneeze, then he continued. "Hiwatari residence, Satoshi-kun speaking."

"Is this really how you've been answering the phone?" Satoshi growled, picking at his fingernail.

"No, I just thought it'd be fun. I bought some things to eat and when I put some seasoning in my food, I put too much so that explains the sneezing." Daisuke sneezed once again. "So, did she say yes?"

"Yeah, but I think it was against her will."

Daisuke laughed over the phone. "Alright, so you want me there ten tomorrow?"

"How'd you know?" Satoshi paused but then began to laugh. "Oh yeah."


"Hi Mom!" Daisuke shouted as Emiko opened the door. But then, his phrase registered in his brain. "I mean, Hello Mrs. Niwa...or Emiko...what should I call you again?"

Both Satoshi and Kosuke were standing behind Emiko. They had a look on their face that said, if she wasn't there, we'd be on the floor, dying of laughter. "That's my son...I guess." Kosuke whispered.

Emiko crossed her arms across her chest. "I'd prefer Mrs. Niwa." A look of slight anger flashed through her eyes.

"Come in, Satoshi!" Satoshi waved his hand happily. Daisuke bowed to his mother and walked in.

"You kids can hang out in his room until you leave." Kosuke told the boys.

They nodded and ran up to his room. "Wiz!" Daisuke shouted as the rabbit jumped on his face. He pulled Wiz off and coughed. "I don't think that will ever get old." Daisuke chuckled and smiled at Satoshi. He agreed and sat down.

"Hey guys." Kosuke popped in and smirked. "What's up, Daisuke?"

Daisuke stared at Satoshi, waiting for him to react. But after a few minutes when nothing happened, he nudged Satoshi. "He's talking to-"

"you." Satoshi grinned.

"Me?" He looked and his dad nodded.

"How's it going?" Kosuke smirked at his son.

"How did you find out? No one else notices that we switched places." Daisuke asked. He held a chunk of his hair and pointed. "See, that's blue...and not spiky..." Then, Daisuke pointed at his eyes. "Those are blue too and there are glasses in front of them." Daisuke accidentally poked the glasses and jumped. "Alright, I guess they just saved my eyes." Taking them off, Daisuke wiped the lenses on his shirt.

"Well, I found out Satoshi first." Satoshi growled, still annoyed that he was obvious. "And also, Satoshi would never have that look in his eyes." Kosuke smirked.

"Really?" Daisuke's face lit up.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Satoshi jumped up.

The two Niwas began to laugh. "It's a compliment, Satoshi."

"Not to me." he turned away, crossing his arms. Daisuke and Kosuke laughed together again. They both put their hands on his shoulder.

"You seem to be changing..." Kosuke said, smiling softly at Satoshi. "If I wasn't mistaken, you've been enjoying living with others."

"Well, uh-" Satoshi knew it was true but he didn't want to admit it. Luckily, the door slammed open and all the boy's heads looked up.

"Boys...Time to go..." Emiko said, shooting a glare at Daisuke which made him almost fall off the bed.

As they walked to the market, Daisuke talked about this game of basketball that was on last night. "And then, the guy was knocked down. I thought he would have breaked his leg when he was stepped on but he just got right back up!" Daisuke exclaimed, smiling.

"It's broken, Satoshi. And...sounds interesting." Satoshi said to Daisuke, getting a little nervous of Emiko.

"I know! I never knew sports was this interesting..." Daisuke giggled. He began to chew loudly on the gum he had in his mouth. Dai blew a bubble and seconds later, a large piece was on his nose.

"Nice." laughed Satoshi.

Emiko was staring at the two oddly. "Since was Satoshi so happy?" she asked Kosuke. "And I don't think I've ever heard Daisuke correct Satoshi..."

"Maybe he's deciding to change..." Kosuke suggested. He shrugged and continued to walk, even though Emiko had stopped for a minute.

Dimwit, stop acting so happy. Remember you're trying to be Satoshi, not change him. Krad growled. He didn't like the image of a cheerful Satoshi.

I don't have to help him change. Daisuke stuck his tongue out at Krad. And why can't you just shush and relax. It's a beautiful day out.

Shut-up. Krad had a strong urge to kill himself. If Daisuke could get any happier or childish, Krad would have the impression that Daisuke had skipped a few grades and he's actually supposed to be in third grade, with the rest of his paste eating friends.

Wow...I've never been here before. Satoshi looked around the market. There was a bunch of stands. selling foods and other items.

Well, now you have... Dark yawned. Are you sure it's safe to be here with Daisuke?

Why wouldn't it be?

A) He may blow your cover. B) What if Krad forces his way out?

A) I'm telling him about how much faith you have in your partner. B) Daisuke can take care of himself. Satoshi shook his head and walked with the rest of their group. "So what are we going to get first?" Satoshi tried to get his mind off of the screaming his head, Dark was begging for him not to tell Dai.

Emiko looked a little shocked. "Well, you know, I first have to get the fruits and vegetables. Now you three, wait here." Daisuke, Satoshi and Kosuke stood there, waiting for about twenty minutes. Finally, Emiko came out of the crowd. "Daisuke, catch." She threw Satoshi a giant bag, filled with food. Daisuke began to chuckle. "Hiwatari, here you go." Emiko tossed a large bag of breads, noodles and seasonings. Daisuke caught it and almost fell over.

"I guess I'm lucky." Kosuke smiled.

"Not exactly." A wide grin was on Daisuke's mother's face. She turned around and dragged a bag to Kosuke. Barely being able to lift it, Emiko handed it to her husband and then wiped her hands. Kosuke sighed. His bag was full of paper towel rolls, toilet paper, soap, shampoo and sticking out at the top was tampons.

"How did you get this all from this stand?" Daisuke asked.

"Nah," Emiko flipped her hair, giggling softly. They began walking back.

"Wow, look at the flowers." Satoshi said as they passed a flower stand.

"Hey," Emiko sneezed. "-suke."

All three men stopped and turned around. "What?" they all asked.

Emiko stood there confused. Why would all three of them ask? At the same time, they noticed their mistake. Kosuke laughed, Satoshi scratched his head nervously and Daisuke looked away, whistling to himself. "Sorry." she said. "They must have the flowers I'm allergic to. But I wanted to show the boys that." Emiko pointed to a small fair.

"Oh, we should go check it out!" Satoshi grabbed Daisuke's arm and dragged him.

"The boys?" Kosuke elbowed Emiko softly. "You're making it sound like they're both our sons." He chuckled, because technically, they were. One was the body and the other was the soul.

"No!" she stomped a foot on the ground. "I just, said the boys, there's nothing significant about that." Emiko glanced at Kosuke and sighed. "But..." pausing, Emiko really couldn't explain how she felt about Satoshi.

At the entrance, they looked around. "Seems to be a charity fair, why don't we look around?" Satoshi said.

"Alright." Daisuke went to step but then stopped. "Wait, we have to pay to get in." but as he was talking, Satoshi handed a girl standing behind a table twenty dollars. "That should get your parents through too, Dai." Satoshi quietly said before walking in.

"How cute." Emiko giggled. There were a few food stands, contests and rides around. "Oh, you guys, you should do that!" She pointed to an inflated obstacle course.

"Well, I don't see why we shouldn't. Come on, Daisuke." Dai yanked Satoshi's arm over to the course.

"Why hello there boys." A girl that looked about twenty smiled at the two. "You wanna try?" they nodded. "Alright. Well, you two have to race and the winner gets this coupon for a free ice cream cone."

"Yum, ice cream." they both said, smiling. Suddenly, the two boys glared at each other. "YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" they shouted and took off their shoes. Emiko and Kosuke quickly ran over by them. "Go Daisuke!" Emiko waved, smiling happily. Seeing the glance she got from her husband, she then shouted, "Go Satoshi! Do your best!"

"Alright boys." The girl said, holding up the coupon. "Ready," they raised their legs on the course. "Get set." they both flinched, ready to go. "...GO!" Daisuke and Satoshi shuffled onto the obstacle course. They crawled through the tunnel and jumped over the log like things in the way. Climbing up the wall, they were tied. Finally, they slid down on their stomachs, landing on their feet and smiled and the girl.

"Well, who won?" they asked, staring at the petrified girl.

"You guys did great!" Emiko ran on the other side to where they were. "But I couldn't tell who won." Now, everyone was waiting for an answer from the girl.

"I have no idea." she chuckled. The girl held out her stop watch. "Five seconds...that's impossible." without looking at the watch, she sighed. "You two tied from what I saw..."

"Well, I guess we could do it again." Daisuke said.

But even after three more times, they both tied. A crowd even watched them on the final one. "You can both have a coupon." The girl smiled weakly, handing them the coupons.

"Thanks." The boys waved and continued to walk around. They played a whole bunch of games. Satoshi played the ring toss and won a large pink bear. Daisuke played and won a rock for effort. The two tried whack-a-mole, basketball and the duck game. Right before they left, the boys grabbed their ice creams.

"You can have this." Satoshi gave Emiko the pink bear.

"Thank you, Dai!" she hugged him tightly.

Meanwhile, Daisuke stared at his rock. "Sorry dad, this was all I got." Daisuke offered him the rock.

"Awww, thanks Satoshi." Kosuke chuckled at the rock. "I will cherish this foreva." He put the rock in his pocket and smirked. "Hey you guys," Kosuke pulled the two boys close to him. "I convinced Emiko to let Dai sleep over." he whispered.

"You didn't have to..." Daisuke shook his head.

"Well, I did anyway." he said, smiling like he always did.


After helping make dinner, eating dinner and cleaning up, Daisuke and Satoshi headed up to his room. "Satoshi, you can have the bed and I'll sleep on the floor." Daisuke happily said, pulling out an extra pillow.

"No you're not." Satoshi said. "You haven't been able to sleep in your bed for almost a week now."

"Yeah but-"

"But nothing. I'll sleep on the couch." Satoshi snatched the pillow. "You don't mind if I borrow you're night clothes, do you?"

"Of course not, what have you been wearing for the past week?"

"My school uniform."

"What?" Daisuke waved his arms frantically.

"Well, yeah." Satoshi looked up, Daisuke felt his heart beat oddly when Satoshi's eyes met his. "When I took a shower, I washed the uniform. That's it."

"Wear this." Daisuke shoved the PJ's at Satoshi's chest. He turned around and picked up his own pajamas. But when he turned around, Satoshi had already taken off his shirt and was now taking the belt off his pants. "What are you doing now?" Daisuke shouted.

"...changing." Satoshi shrugged.

"But you don't do it in front of me."

"So? We're both guys. There's nothing to hide." Satoshi unzipped his pants.

Daisuke looked away. This guy's been living by himself for way too long.

Duh

Finally, he finished getting dressed and turned around. Satoshi was standing there, looking at pictures of Daisuke and Emiko, shirtless. Daisuke's jaw fell to the floor. "Why can't you dress normally?" he whined.

"Why can't I dress like this." Satoshi put his hands on his hips. Daisuke began to freak out.

"Quit it, just quit it." Daisuke held up his hand. "My mom is going to defiantly know that's not me."

"Sure she will, all you have to do is-" Satoshi whispered something Daisuke's ear.

Minutes later, they walked down for a before-bed snack. "Hey honey." Emiko smiled at Satoshi. Daisuke walked down after him, both of them didn't have shirts on. Once the images registered in her mind, her mouth hung open. "Why don't you have a shirt on, sweetie?"

"Satoshi said that tomorrow it's going to be really hot. Anyway, we're all family..." Satoshi said kindly. He looked over at Dai with a smirk.

Why's he blaming it on me? asked Daisuke.

"Alright..." she was a bit surprised. Shaking the thought, she couldn't help but see the two. They seemed like brothers, except their hair was completely different. But then, something caught Emiko's eyes. Daisuke's posture was different. He was standing straighter while Satoshi was hanging his shoulder.

"Well, I'm beat mom. I'm going to bed." Satoshi grabbed his pillow, fluffed it and laid down.

"Good night, Daisuke." Dai smiled happily.

"Good night, honey. Sleep tight." Emiko softly kissed Satoshi on the forehead before turning the lights off.

Satoshi? In a matter of minute, he was asleep. But for some reason, he hadn't said a word. Alright, time to put my plan into action. Dark took control and before getting up, he made sure no one was around. What the- Dark froze and put his hand on the pillow. He felt a warm, wet spot and chuckled. Awwww, Satoshi. How cute, he loves his mom.

He watched Emiko and Kosuke's light finally go off and smiled. "I hope he isn't asleep yet..." Dark tip toed toward the stairs. While he snuck across the room, something caught his eyes. Dark smiled. "I like this look." he quietly chuckled to himself and winked at the mirror. Before he left, Dark ran his fingers through his hair and continued on his way.

Dark looked up the steps and felt a wave of satisfactory. He stepped on the first step but heard a door and jumped off, laying flat against the wall. I can't see a thing. He squinted, trying to see if anyone was coming. Shrugging, Dark began up the stairs and accidentally hit the wall. Goddamn... He rubbed his nose and took another step. Once again he ran into something. "Stupid wall!" Dark said in a whisper-shout.

"Who's that." Another deep male's voice reached out and grabbed Dark's shoulder.

Ahhhh, it's a ghost. Chills ran down Dark's spine. "Ghost, come with me." Dark tugged on the other's arm.

"Idiot, its Krad." he took his arm away from Dark. "I don't know what's smarter, Dark. You or the wall."

"Hey!"

"Actually I do know...it's the wall."

"Why I-" Dark froze. "Wait a minute..."

"What?" Krad crossed his arms. "You realized I was right?"

There was a thud and then Dark raised an eyebrow. "Why were you coming downstairs."

"That's for me to know, and you to go back to sleep...or die, you idiotic, punching me in the face, wanking moron." Krad growled, now massaging his cheek.

"I do not wank!" Dark almost shouted.

((A/U: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...XD))

"And I'm not going back to sleep until you tell me what you were doing." They two both walked downstairs. The moonlight reflected off them.

"Uh..." Krad looked away. "I wanted to get something to drink."

"You could have just got a drink from the bathroom."

"Well, tap water gives me red blotches on my skin."

"Right." Dark shook his head in misbelieve.

"Why were you going upstairs?" Krad asked Dark, smirking. Dark saw the evil in his smirk. He knew he couldn't get away.

"Alright, you got me..." Dark looked up, his violet eyes were shining in the moonlight. "I wanted to talk to Daisuke...I-I miss him."

Krad was surprised, no one would expect Dark to admit something like that. "I'm sorry for punching you. I...wanted to say hi to Master Satoshi too."

In the blink of an eye, Dark punched Krad. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AB-" Dark covered his mouth.

"Be quiet. You're going to wake up Emiko." Dark wiped his one hand on his pants and waved the other in the air. "Ow that hurt." he smirked. "That was for two things. One is payback from before. Two is because you and Satoshi are completely weak without each other. Satoshi breaking down because he has a mommy figure and you miss him...Wow...who'd figure."

"Shut up." Krad scowled, turning away from Dark. "You're not any better."

"Yeah, but my other side isn't a wreck."

"Master is not a wreck, he's just experiencing something new." Krad growled.

"What's with all the racket?" Suddenly, the lights flickered on and Emiko was standing at the doorway, wiping her eyes. She looked at the two men who were now stiff as stale bread. After a minute of thinking, she opened her mouth to scream but her mouth was covered. Emiko pushed away from the man behind her and grabbed a pan.

"Emiko, we can explain." At once, Krad, Dark and Kosuke all said.

"I don't care how you explain." she glared at Krad, holding the pan with both hands. "We trusted that Hiwatari boy and look what happened now, the white wings was about to hurt Dark!" Dark and Krad both looked hurt. As if each moment mirrored into the other, their eyes suddenly widened and they chuckled.

"They're up." They said. In a matter of moments, Satoshi and Daisuke were let out. They gasped for breath and walked to the wall to lean on.

Emiko seemed shocked and Kosuke watched, looking calm. Both boys looked up with confusion. "What happened?" Daisuke said, brushing blue hair out of his face. Seeing the look on his mothers face scared him. "What?"

"Why in the world are we down here?" Satoshi asked, yawning. Emiko ran to him and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're safe. The Hiwatari boy attacked and I thought he was going to kill you!" Emiko embraced him tightly. Over her shoulder, she saw that Daisuke looked miserable. He glanced over at Kosuke and he smirked and gave Satoshi a nod.

At first, he hesitated but Satoshi backed away and slapped Emiko. It was if time froze in place. But it started again and Emiko raised her hand to her cheek and looked up at Satoshi. "Don't be so foolish." he said in a cold tone. Emiko was taken back. "He would never do any of the sort. Nor would I."

"What do you mean?" Emiko squeaked, standing up straight.

Meanwhile, Daisuke looked at his dad. "I never thought he'd slap her." Kosuke chuckled softly.

"I don't know what Dark and Krad were doing but I would never attack Dai." Satoshi tried to keep himself from shouting. "Stop thinking that I'm a bad guy, Dark and I made a pledge."

"I don't understand." she whimpered.

"I-I'm not Daisuke." he looked away from her. "I'm actually Satoshi. That's Daisuke." Satoshi pointed to him. Emiko's head followed his finger. "We switched bodies...I'm sorry, Mrs. Niwa."
